What to Expect

Most famous as the predominant grape in the blended wines of Rioja, Tempranillo has emerged as a potential star in regions as disparate as Australia and California. Tempranillo generally produces medium-bodied wines with juicy acidity and bright raspberry fruit enlivened by notes of dusty earth, dry herbs and leather. Tempranillo is often blended with Grenache, Graciano, and Mazuelo (aka Carignan) in the production of red wine from the Rioja region of Spain.

Winemakers Notes

The stunning Finca Villacreces estate is located in Quintanilla de Onesimo (Valladolid) on the ‘golden mile’ in the Ribera del Duero DO. Recently purchased by Vina Izadi, the property is bordered by the River Duero to the north and by Vega Sicilia 95%. This 95% Tinto Fino (Tempranillo), 5% Cabernet Sauvignon wine is deep purple in colour with a complex nose of intense mocha, cranberry and cassis aromas. In the mouth it displays a meaty structure, with plenty of ripe, dark berry fruit, a good balance and a very long finish.
